Philco 54C restoration
#1

I started working on a nice little 54C that I got from Ron a couple of months ago. I'm resting it for my daughter. Man, talk about 5 pounds of potatoes stuffed into a 2 pound bag! This baby is TIGHT!
Anyway, unfortunately it appears it had been previously worked on probably 50 years ago or more, so I'm going to have to try and get it back to the way it was. I got my schematic package from Chuck last week, so I'm good there. I'm very excited about it, because once it is working and the cabinet is done it will be a gorgeous little counter top radio she can enjoy long after I'm gone. Thanks Ron!
